*** PTG Trips ***
Please note that PTG (Public Transport Group) trips may be subject to change due to on-going problems with train and bus services, and also pub opening times still being very changeable at the moment. Check this diary page nearer the time, or ask Michael Croxford to put you on his PTG email list, for the latest updates
*** Beer Bus Trips ***
